RIP Body & Soul

Body and Soul: When you cast Power Word: Shield or Leap of Faith, you increase the target's movement speed by 12% 30% for 4 sec, and you have a 50% chance when you cast Cure Disease on yourself to also cleanse 1 poison effect in addition to diseases.

A straight 35 % movement reduction on body and soul.. pretty big nerf =/ Is this a PvE nerf or a PvP nerf?

I can see it being a lot less useful suddenly, it being the only reason I have a holy offspec for certain boss encounters.

I lived through ToC in WoTLk as a holypriest just fine. Not because I did good healing, far from it. Not because I could heal forever, nothing could be further from the truth. Not because I was able to keep a tank alive, despite Ghostcrawler's vocal opposition to the thousands of holypriests stating they were useless at it. Not because my awesome lifesaver spell actually worked (it bugged 70% of the time). I was a frickin' liability to my raid due to the state of my class. Yet I was good for something. I was the speedbubble-bot. That was my one true strength. And any depression I got from beign in that state was quickly dispelled when I was cruising through Dalaran at mount speed while unmounted. For a short while at least.

B&S, I will miss you. Rest in peace. The new perversion is not worth talking about.

B&S and leap of faith is the only things that can make you push that little extra as a hpriest. I use LoF and BS every single fight to help pweople get quicker from point A to B, out of fire and when to gather up for example. Being able to do this while healing makes your role more interesting and demanding. Spells like these separate the healbots, "Whack-a-mole"-style, and healers who can get that little bit extra out of their class.
